'Verses' The Poetry Game

Wednesday, January 19, 2011

So we released Verses 1.2 a week or so ago and are getting reviews about the update saying it's crashing on launch for existing users of 1.1, we however have not received any crash reports from apple which get reported when you sync your iphone/ipad/ipod so if you're having issues make sure you're syncing so we can get the fix to you ASAP. Another thing to try is deleting the app and re-downloading it from the app store. That being said the new version is really big improvement (if you can get it running ;) ) and is well worth the dowload and it's free as always!

Ever wonder what it would be like to mash-up a Shakespeare poem with a Hip Hop Song? Verses is a new iPhone and iPad app that puts a fresh spin on a cherished classic: refrigerator magnet poetry. We built this app to set your creativity ablaze with Verses's limitless word mixing possibilities that allow you to become a kind of dictionary DJ. After creating a poem out of your own personal mix of dictionaries, you can send your creation to friends via email or publish it in your Facebook photo album! (network connectivity required)

Arranging words into your own poetry is much easier and smoother (and thus more enjoyable) using Verses, as opposed to the original "real life" fridge magnets. But even more enjoyable is the pleasure of sharing your poetic creations with friends. With the click of a button, you can publish your poem to Facebook (assuming you're logged in). Then ALL of your friends can see your creativity, not just the ones who happen to be in standing in front of your fridge (Facebook account and network connectivity required). Plus you can email your poetry directly to your friends, all without ever leaving the app. You can also save your poetry to your device's photo album.

Verses comes with 4 dictionaries, including:

Old School Words

New School Words

'The' Dictionary

If Ands Or Buts Dictionary

You can also buy premium dictionaries for an additional cost, which can add even more flavor and character to your poems. Premium dictionaries are available as optional in-app purchases and include:

Hip-Hop Dictionary

Beatnik Dictionary

60's Dictionary 1

60's Dictionary 2

LOL-tionary

Sci-Fi Dictionary

Shakespeare Dictionary

19th & 20th Century Dictionary

We've also added Achievements that will track your progress and keep a tally of your own personal "Poetry Score."
